Abstract:
According to current climate projections, heatwaves are expected to rise in duration, frequency and/or intensity. Due to high concentration of vulnerable people and infrastructure, proceeding urbanization and already elevated temperatures in cities due to the urban heat island effect, urban areas are especially threatened. This work presents a spatially explicit heat risk assess-ment approach for urban areas that combines hazard assessment by modelling of mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) with vul...     »
